Out of the water

After an exceptionally long fishing summer, with an early spring and warm autumn, the winter’s now just around the corner. How do I know? We are actually having mail conversations again, first time after the summer’s fishing. Discussions about upcoming film projects, fishing trips and tours. I myself have been quite busy with my solo… Read more »

Autumn Is Underrated

Last year, I made a video about autumn fly fishing called Eternal Summer. In the video´s voiceover I say something like  “I have to admit I´ve never really liked autumn that much”. Well, now I have to admit that since moving up north, I´ve actually started to like autumn a lot! I went fishing yesterday,… Read more »

Autumn, Mayflies & Arctic Char

  Hello again! This weekend wasn´t supposed to be about fishing at all. Friday was spent doing lots of incredibly boring office work (the dark side of being a jazz musician), and saturday was all about manual labour. Well, the weather was awful anyway, so it´s not like I missed out on any fly fishing…. Read more »

Some Screenshots

Here you go. Some screenshots from some new video material, shot by Arne Mobakken and myself. Videos will start coming when autumn turns into winter. In August, Arne and I made a couple of really good fishing trips:  One to a newly discovered river high up in the mountains, and one to one of my… Read more »

Frantic Summer Days

Hi! In between fishing trips right now, trying to make the most out of the way-too-short summer above the arctic circle. As ususal, the fishing has had its ups and downs, with everything from huge hatches and big, steadily rising fish to weeks with gale force winds from the north and very crappy fishing.

Expedition ahead!

It’s time for the highlight of the year, the JFF Nordic Expedition! As usual, we will be exploring unknown territories in secret places far north. We’ll be away from computers and blogs and stuff for a while, but stay tuned! Here are some goodies from the past years:

New video: Trout Slap

Me and Fred went seatrout fishing a couple of days ago. It was a very strange evening! Right after the trip and a couple of beers later Trout Slap was born. To be watched with a glass of well chilled rosé wine. Enjoy! Music: Whistling: Katson Autiota Hiekkarantaa by Veikko Samuli/Juha “Watt” Vainio/Katri Helena Bossa… Read more »

Silver bars and organ pipes

This week I was playing some gigs in old churches in Sweden. Nice, acoustics and beautiful buildings and surroundings. We played some folk tunes, classical themes and hymns, all arranged for a jazz trio. I of course brought my camera and took some photos along the way. When I got home I went fishing for… Read more »

New video: Focus

Here’s a short film from a trip a couple of weeks back. One man, one camera, one fish, one situation. Plus some experimenting with the out-of-focus shapes with different lenses. Music by Jazz & Fly Fishing. Enjoy! Focus from Jazz & Fly Fishing on Vimeo.

Big Mayflies, Big Trout and Big Horses

  Ahhh. Sometimes, life above the arctic circle is just so… good. Sunny weather, green fields, snowcapped mountains, and huge amounts of Ephemera vulgata mayflies hatching. What more can you ask for? I only caught one single fish today, but it was a really good one, a 2,4 kg (5,3 lb) wild brown trout on… Read more »
